Express Sport brings you Barcelona's player ratings from their Champions League clash with Juventus

“Messi? He has a four-year contract. He’s the best ever and played for us since he was small and we enjoy watching him play because he’s unique,” Bartomeu told reporters after Barca’s 3-0 win over Juventus, where Messi’s scored twice.

“Contracts for Messi and Iniesta? The club members can rest easy.

“We’ve already said Messi’s renewal is signed and that he’ll be at Barca for as long as he wants, the same with Iniesta.

“[Iniesta] has extraordinary quality. He was here when Ronaldinho was and now he’s with Messi. He’s crucial for us, he had a great game.

Lionel Messi scored twice for Barcelona against Juventus

“Starting with three wins and conceding none is something that hadn’t happened for years.

“We’ve started with enthusiasm and excited the club members. It’s to Ernesto Valverde’s credit.”

Messi has scored eight goals already for Barca this season as the club adjust to the loss of Neymar in the transfer window.

Ousmane Dembele, the Brazilian’s replacement, lasted 71 minutes at the Nou Camp as he searches his first goal since arriving in a £138m deal from Borussia Dortmund.

As for Iniesta, he is yet to finish a match for Barca or Spain this season and his club tried unsuccessfully to sign an understudy to the veteran during the summer.
